new 2.6.13 kernel
Hi. In the new kernel, when make oldconfig'ing, i've seen a new option: Preemption Model 1. No Forced Preemption (Server) (PREEMPT_NONE) (NEW) 2. Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop) (PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY) (NEW) 3. Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) (PREEMPT) Does anyone know if it's already safe to select a preemptive kernel in amd64¿ Regards, Rafael Rodríguez
Re: 64-bit java plugin (or lack thereof)
Anyway, I tried using make-jpkg on both j2re-1.4.2-02 and j2re-1.4.2-01. Both have the same result -- they immediately crash at: http://games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/tx.html Can you please try that URL and tell me if firefox crashes for you? Firefox 1.0.4 crashes, Konqueror 3.4.1 works. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: new 2.6.13 kernel
The same help of the option in kernels = 2.6.12 gave you a hint that it wasn't very safe in x86_64... however, i don't see any help at all in 2.6.13...

Problems with disc config when installing
I seem to be having problems when configuring my disk setup during the net install for sarge amd64. I'm trying to configure /home to be an MD within an LVM container. Although the install can configure it, when I've rebooted the install, and installed evms, then it seems the LVM container has the wrong MD in it. Without going into further details, has anyone else tried to configure an MD within an LVM using the amd64 install? I'm wondering about using EVMS to reconfigure the /home LVM container that was created at install. Also how do those using MD (raid1) handle the SWAP partition? Do you leave the 2 partitions that would be used for an MD seperate and use each one for swap space, or do you use an MD for swap space?

If you've multiple swap partitions, you can pass the pri option to stripe among your swap partitions (ala RAID0) for a slightly performance boost. Running RAID1, RAID5, etc for a swap partition is a waste of diskspace and CPU cycles. -- Samat Jain http://tamasrepus.rhombic.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of an MD device made from an LVM physical volumes... Same question here. I've built LVM on MD on amd64 twice, once from the installer and once manually from the installer shell, no serious problems either time. Are you trying to run LVM and just back up one volume of it on a smaller disk? You should keep swap partitions off of MD devices. If you've multiple swap partitions, you can pass the pri option to stripe among your swap partitions (ala RAID0) for a slightly performance boost. Running RAID1, RAID5, etc for a swap partition is a waste of diskspace and CPU cycles. The kernel has a tendancy to store some data in swap even with lots of free RAM, and there is a danger that the failure of a disk containing a RAID0 swap could cause a crash or other unpleasantry. It could just as easily not, of course, but I've used MD + LVM for small-scale production apps a few times and also am a bit paranoid =P. Anyhow, I've always preferred swap over RAID1/5 md wherever possible. - -- John Livingston -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The fan of the laptop never stops with amd64
I recently bought a Turion laptop with Knoppix-32bit preinstalled. The fan used to run and stop now and then. Now I have installed debian-amd64-testing and when the fan starts working (15sec to 30 sec after booting) then it never stops again. Furthermore, the battery lasts 30% less time approx. than with 32bit. I am wondering why, and got 2 hypothesis: 1) Turion is dissipating a lot more power when running in 64bit mode. 2) There is something wrong with the control of the fan in debian-amd64. However, all acpi modules (thermal.ko, fan.ko, etc.) are loaded at boot time (I had to add them to /etc/modules) and they seem to be working 'cause I got battery level indication in the kde panel. Has anyone experienced this behaviour? Is it normal? Regards, amm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: The fan of the laptop never stops with amd64
Are you using powernowd? powernowd allows dynamic cpu frequency and core voltage scaling. For instance, my 1800MHz (1.5V) runs at 1001MHz (1.1V) most of the time. Of course, the side effect is lower power (heat) dissipation so the fan(s) can slow down. -Pascal On 8/29/05, A, Manchado [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I recently bought a Turion laptop with Knoppix-32bit preinstalled.
